Biography
Matt Elvira was born in the predominantly-Hispanic neighborhood of Florence, Los Angeles, California in 1983. Elvira was a troublesome youth, and he joined the Vagos gang after becoming involved with street crime. Elvira started a relationship with fast food restaurant worker Timone Barber after meeting her at a party, and the two of them frequently had dates in Florence.

Death
In the late summer of 2017, the LAPD launched Operation Day of the Dead, a series of police operations in which LAPD policemen were permitted to shoot gang members on sight in "gang clearance zones". LAPD officer Kevin Feijoo spotted Elvira and Barber smoking cigarettes outside of a Florence store, so he produced an MP5 submachine gun and proceeded to kill both Elvira and Barber in a hail of bullets.
